Cassis is wonderful, and the villa is perfectly situated to enjoy the benefits and amenities of this lovely town. The villa is nestled on the edge of the harbor, and it is a very short walk to the town, restaurants and beach. There have been a number of improvements made at the villa. Reading prior comments, mirrors have been added and the bathroom modernized. But some of the upgrades “look” great but a not entirely successful from a usage situation. For example, there are two sinks in the bathroom, but both of a very modern design that make them virtually unusable as sinks. There is an excellent shower, but the owner has removed the facility to have the shower on the wall so you have to shower one-handed which is not ideal. There is no pool at the villa as was in the description when we booked. There are steps through a private gate down the small cliff face too the sea – but it is too dangerous and steep for young children or the elderly to be able to use. My main criticism is with what I can only describe as a highly money making attitude of the owner. This is an expensive villa to rent – with its great positioning understandably so. But I have never been asked to pay extra to hire bedding and towels – we were told a few days before we travelled that these were not included and we would have to pay extra – or pay to have the villa cleaned and asked to pay on arrival. These were not on the UK page when we booked. The representative said this was a translation issue and the fault of Homeaway. But it speaks to the attitude of the owner who seems intent to take as much money from visitors as possible with hidden costs. I would definitely recommend Cassis and am likely to visit again. Just not to this villa.

Echt een supermooie locatie, met een onbetaalbaar uitzicht! Vlakbij het centrum en toch super rustig, geen last van andere toeristen of lawaai. Je hebt de mogelijkheid om via de villa naar een rots en een trapje te gaan waar je kan zwemmen. Wel jammer dat je moet bijbetalen voor babybed, lakens en handdoeken, aangezien je al redelijk wat betaald. De borg betalen zou ook via visakaart mogen ipv cash.

We really enjoyed our stay in Villa Cassis. The apartment was so comfortable, made especially fabulous by the terrace and the view, truly extraordinary. The bedrooms are upstairs and are plain but very comfortable. There is only one bathroom, but two toilets, one upstairs (separate from the bathroom) and one downstairs. There are stairs outside also, not so accessible for anyone with mobility problems. The kitchen is modern and nice. We greatly recommend to the owners to add mirrors in each of the bedrooms to do hair and make-up, as there is no outlet for hair dryers, etc., in the bathroom. The floor, tile, needs a good steam cleaning throughout. BUT, this is a truly remarkable place! Do not hesitate to stay here. It is great! Benedicte is a darling, too! We loved it.
